- Abstract:
- "A countrywoman (right), wearing a cloak apron, and pattens and holding out a volume of 'Wesleys Hymns', addresses a jockey standing before the door of 'The Ram Inn' (left): "Pray Young Man--- are there any Meetings in this Town?" He answers: "Yes Ma'am two a Year Spring and October." The dog at his feet wears a collar "Snap". Three persons standing on the doorstep watch with amused interest: a typical betting man in top-boots arm-in-arm with a young woman, and a stout rubicund man. Behind is the race-course; three horses (right) are almost neck and neck. Spectators on horse-back watch from 'Devils Ditch', and on the horizon (right) is the winning-post with a flag."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "In a large room lit by candles in sconces, a round game is in progress. The guests are ladies, undergraduates, and elderly parsons, some sit in a circle, while others look over their heads. An elderly parson grovels on his hands and knees, putting his head under the petticoats of a lady who sits (left) with her hands raised in surprise. He acts at the direction of a boy (Prince William of Gloucester) wearing the gown of (?) a fellow commoner over a coat with a star, who stands (right) in profile to the left, stretching his right arm with an autocratic gesture; a spaniel licks his feet. A stout parson seated behind him on the extreme left scowls and clenches his fist at the scene. The lady (the Duchess of Gloucester) sits between a fashionably dressed undergraduate wearing the gown of (?) a fellow commoner, and a stout parson who holds up his hands in astonishment. The undergraduates and some of the parsons appear amused, others frown disapprovingly. On the extreme left is a small round table on which are two candles and playing-cards."--British Museum online catalogue.
